Peggy was the first person to find gold at the site and kept a journal, which John Preston finally got from his half-sister, who grew up with Peggy. Preston never knew his aunt, Peggy, because she did not get along with John’s father. John Preston only became aware of his family’s involvement in the Sutton Hoo excavation in 2004 when a second cousin casually slipped it into their conversation. The book presents the events through the eyes of different people, which means that it is bound to impact the chronology and knowledge about the archaeological site and the people involved in the project. Therefore, it is not an accurate account of the real events. However, John Preston admitted that he employed a certain degree of literary license for dramatic effect in the book. The author of the novel is the nephew of Peggy Piggott, who was one of the people involved in the excavation. The film is based on the novel of the same name by John Preston.
